ABSTRACT Integration of systems with pastures, using silvopastoral systems, can increase soil carbon levels, optimize land use, improve the quality and productivity of agricultural products, and promote the conservation of environmental resources. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of management practices of marandu grass at eucalyptus shading levels in a silvopastoral systems, on organic carbon and nitrogen stocks, and soil chemical properties in the Brazilian Cerrado. Environments with different light availability in the plots (SPS 55-60, SPS 50-55, SPS 45-50, and SPS 40-45 % shading) and a treatment with marandu grass in full sun were allocated. The pre-grazing management of marandu grass was 0.30, 0.40, 0.50 and 0.60 m in height. Soil chemical properties, organic carbon and nitrogen stocks were analyzed. The management of marandu grass at 0.50 m height in the silvopastoral systems provided higher levels of organic carbon, nitrogen, and organic matter in the soil and an increase in fertility, compared to monoculture pasture, with repercussions in two years. Due to greater nutrient cycling, the integration of eucalyptus and marandu grass pasture contributes to greater stocks of organic carbon and nitrogen in the soil strips closest to the tree row. Research on forage productivity, together with the soil quality of this study, will provide more data to ensure the sustainability of these ecosystems. pastures use products resources Cerrado 5560, 5560 55 60, 60 55-60 5055, 5055 50 55, 50-55 4550, 4550 45 50, 45-50 4045 40 40-4 allocated pregrazing pre grazing 030 0 30 0.30 040 0.40 050 0.5 060 0.6 analyzed fertility years cycling row ecosystems 556 5 6 55-6 505 50-5 455 4 45-5 404 40- 03 3 0.3 04 0.4 05 0. 06 55- 50- 45-
